Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth
What made Queen Yian happy was that Zhu Cilang was a smart child. She didn't have to explain to him in many things, nor did she have to ask questions. Sometimes, just a brief reminder, Zhu Cilang understood instantly.
A saying in the big dyeing workshop is good. First-class people don’t need to be taught, second-class people use words, third-class people use sticks. In fact, no one is perfect, and smart people also have times when they are confused. It should be said that first-class people use their eyes to teach.
A look and a reminder that points to the point will suddenly realize the convenience. Zhu Cilang is one of the few people in this era who react too quickly.
In history, few ministers who had made great contributions to the Lord had a good ending. But nothing was absolutely true, and some had a good ending.
The identity of Prince Zhu Cilang is extremely embarrassing. You must not be strong or too strong. But Zhu Cilang belongs to which category is too strong.
This is a good thing. It is indeed a good thing for the prince to be stronger than the emperor. But Zhu Cilang is no longer ordinary. Not to mention that the Qing Dynasty, which is full of cavalry, was forced by Zhu Cilang to move outside the pass. Huang Taiji went south several times, but all ended in failure.
Not to mention, Li Zicheng, who was like a spark, had many famous Ming generals in his hands. But as a result, Li Zicheng was beaten by Zhu Cilang to look for teeth. Although Li Zicheng had a million troops at the time of his might, he was still chased and beaten by Zhu Cilang.
There was also Zhang Xianzhong, and the 12th Regiment Battalion had bloodless troops entering Sichuan. Since then, the world has been under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. The bandits in Shanxi will collapse without attacking, and Sun Chuanting was in charge of Shaanxi. General Li Shouyan was in the wind in Shandong, and Liaodong soldiers guarded the Guanning defense line as solid as a rock.
All of this was the credit of Zhu Cilang. Internally, he captured the eight imperial merchants, rectified several dog officials such as Wei Zaode, and rectified the three camps of the capital, and improved the firearms.
In addition, high-yield crops were introduced, which solved the food problems of disaster victims around the Gyeonggi area. With the popularization of new crops, the disaster situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty slowed down year by year. The power of the Little Ice Age was also greatly curbed.
In addition, the imposition of commercial tax in the capital has alleviated the exhausted treasury income to a certain extent. All of this Zhu Cixuan did was to prosper the life of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a prince is enough to be comparable to Emperor Chengzu of Taizu. With Zhu Cilang's current reputation, he has far surpassed Emperor Chongzhen.
If you are not careful, it is very likely to cause a disaster. At the least, the father and son will rebel, and at the worst, the country will endanger the country. After all, Emperor Chongzhen was in the past, and his journey to emperor was still very long. With a capable son like Zhu Cilang, I have to say that it is a huge threat to Chongzhen's imperial power.
The worst thing is that this kind of thing will not break out in a short time. After all, Chongzhen loved his son, but as time goes by, this contradiction will be fatal. It is no longer possible to solve it by Zhu Cixuan presenting a picture of Twenty-Four Filial Piety. It is very likely that his position as crown prince cannot be preserved.
All the civil and military officials in the court, and even the scholars in the world, followed the prince as their leader. They deliberately or unintentionally pushed Zhu Cilang to the forefront. All the civil and military officials in the court only knew the prince but not the emperor. This situation was terrible.
Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan had never seen anything in the palace, and she was very worried about planning ahead. However, Queen Yi'an's attitude was also very clear. When necessary, she supported Zhu Cilang to raise an army to seize power.
I have to say that Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan is indeed very good to Zhu Cilang. She had high hopes for Zhu Cilang from the beginning. Emperor Chongzhen's personality flaw was destined to be unable to revive the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, Zhu Cilang's unpride and impetuous personality is more suitable to be the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty. Empress Yian focuses on cultivating Zhu Cilang because she hopes that he can revive the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty should not be destroyed, nor should it be destroyed. When the Ming Dynasty fell, the descendants of the Zhu family would not be able to finish their nests. The people of the Ming Dynasty would suffer a tragic disaster.
"Ci-Yang. What are you going to do next?" asked Queen Yian.
Zhu Cilang thought for a while: "Hide your strength and keep your low profile, hide your cleverness and show your conscience."
Queen Yi'an smiled slightly: "You can teach me."
Zhu Cilang smiled back and said, "Auntie, you are so amazing."
Queen Yi'an smiled bitterly: "Awesome, that's why you don't know what the emperor and aunt had experienced. Back then, when the late emperor was still there, Wei Ni's entire harem caused bloody storm. Such a life is really scary."
Zhu Cilang thought to himself: "The emperor and aunt, my son has no other requests. He is willing to learn from Emperor Xiaozong and marry only one person in his life."
Queen Yi'an was stunned: "In the future, you will become an emperor and will be in the world. Have you never thought that the three palaces and six courtyards will be the descendants of our ancestors?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head: "What are the three palaces and six courtyards for the long-lasting descendants? It's just to make excuses for his own arrogance and extravagance. Emperor Xiaozong and the empress have been respectful for each other all their lives, which is the true love of the world. The child does not want to be intrigues and intrigues in the palace. The Shen family is full of loyalty and wise, and Shishi is gentle and virtuous. My son will never be the two outsiders in this life."
Queen Yian looked at Zhu Cilang strangely. It was rare for the emperor who could only marry one wife in his life. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang, who was young, could do this.
The desires are hard to fill. I believe that the first thing most people do when they become emperors is to recruit concubines. They can attract beauties in the world and fill the harem with drunkenness and dreams.
Only Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhang, respected Empress Zhang all his life. Emperor Xiaozong loved his wife deeply and did not establish concubines. The two lived together like a couple among the common people. Empress Zhang had a lively personality and was favored by Emperor Xiaozong throughout her life. She was a model of monogamy in ancient society.
Although Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu were also monogamous, Emperor Wen of Sui was an emperor who was afraid of his wife. Emperor Wen of Sui once had a foolish act with a palace maid. Empress Dugu found out that the palace maid was executed.
By this calculation, the only one who is truly monogamous is probably the only one who is Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cilang also wanted to do this, which was somewhat unexpected to Queen Yi'an. At first, she felt that it was just Zhu Cilang's love for a young man. After all, Xiao Shishi's childhood was the most beautiful age in her life, and it was reasonable that Zhu Cilang could be fascinated by her.
Zhu Cilang was just a whim, and he would not think so until the day when the beauty was old in the future.
But if you think about it carefully, it is wrong. Zhu Cixuan just returned to Beijing and just glanced at Xiao Shishi, and he didn't even have time to say a word. Zhu Cixuan was still firm in his attitude. So, he was really not as close to women.
Actually, Zhu Cilang doesn’t want to, as long as a man, he wants to have the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Otherwise, he’ll just travel through time!
However, the moral education he received since childhood told him that he could not do this. He lived up to his deep affection in this life and hoped that he would not be separated from his old age.
